About the Owner

At Zettel Bookkeeping Services, I bring over a decade of experience in corporate accounting to help small businesses stay organized and financially confident. My name is Chris Zettel, and after years of managing complex projects and financial reporting in Ottawa’s National Capital Region, I’ve turned my passion for numbers into a service tailored for entrepreneurs and growing businesses.

 

I began my career after earning a Business degree with a specialization in Accounting from the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa. Since then, I’ve worked as a Project Accountant and Accounting Reporting Manager, overseeing construction projects in both the public and private sectors. These roles taught me the importance of accuracy, transparency, and timely reporting—skills I now apply to every client relationship.

 

As a QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor, I combine technical expertise with practical insights to simplify bookkeeping for small businesses. Whether it’s managing day-to-day transactions, preparing financial reports, or ensuring compliance, my goal is to give you clarity and peace of mind so you can focus on what you do best—running your business.

 

Recently, I’ve expanded my services to support local entrepreneurs and small business owners. I understand the challenges of wearing multiple hats, and I’m here to make bookkeeping one less thing to worry about.
